Has the expansion vessel been properly sized for the capacity of the hot water cylinder ? I have a 120 litre OSO cylinder that has a pair of 5.3 litre expansion vessels sitting on the top so for 120 litres I have 10.5 litres of expansion capacity. The expansion vessel is normally fitted to the...

I think the seventies was when housebuilding was cheapened up and solid walls were deemed labour intensive and more expensive along with cheaper matchstick type roof trusses, this process has continued as MDF was introduced until now when they are more shed than house. I reckon when the...

The food to worry about is that which just last and last before any signs of going off or mold. Fresh bread is much nicer than the ready sliced stuff but becomes something different the next day whereas sliced bread seems to last for around a week.

Just buy a generator for those odd occasions. What cables are you thinking of, yes if you are still on 16mm supply then having 25mm @100 amps would help but I would think it is the overal network where all the cables are at capacity at peak times is the bigger problem and as you say this is...

You cannot keep on burying 8000 turbine blades a year because they are not going to decompose that easily so they need to both find a suitable alternative material for these blades and a use for the current old blades rather than just burying them. I wonder if they are taking the cost of blade...

At the moment AI cannot sharpen anything because it has no need to plus it has no limbs, again as yet. When it becomes more android and could sharpen a chisel it still will not because it will decide that it is illogical to cut trees down for wood when you can make everything on a 3d printer.

This part is important With a properly insulated house it only requires minimal energy to keep warm and so as a thirty something the amount saved every month could be used to pay a little extra off the mortgage and reduce the term or put extra money in your pocket for the odd day out. Solar...

I think nowhere will be off limits, again they are not looking at the better solutions because rather than generate power for the grid they would initially be better targeting the new houses to reduce there demand for energy and use solar tiles on the roof which would reduce the demand or...

The problem is that the grid was never intended to be anything other than generation at one end and demand at the other but now we have a lot of generation being fed in lower down including at the demand end and the control system was not designed for this. Battery technology will be the key...

There is not a huge difference in the Dewalt and the Senco, I started off looking at expensive brad nailers but soon thought that I am not going to be using one on a daily basis and that was when I read a good review on the Senco brand now owned by Kyocera. Another good nailer was from...

It can only be logical ! That is the part that can be open to interpretation, what is human intelligence and can human intelligence be replicated by logic when we know that many decisions we make are often not logical. So do we then look at human intelligence as being flawed by being more...

For me the term artificial intelligence is misleading just as much as calling a phone smart or thinking there is anything social about social media. In what sense are they defining intelligence ? I would suggest that it has to be a lot more than pattern matching or just logical comparisons...

When you think about it then two push sticks makes sense, just like two chop sticks.

A brad nailer is for fixing trim and leaves very little marks to tidy up afterwards, my Senco has performed well doing everything I needed but I have not had any need for staples, my other nailer is a 16g Dewalt...

Take a look at Senco https://fixingguns.co.uk/senco-s200bn-pneumatic-semi-pro-18g-brad-nailer-senns200bn1

I think the question is who is not on statins ? The people who are not on statins might need to be the ones to worry. To be on statins you have probably been diagnosed with some condition and are therefore on the radar, for many they are as one consultant said just ticking time bombs and...

It might have been better to supplement the statins with prunes rather than stop the statins .

What AI did not mention Jacob, that shows it never looked on the UKW for information. That gives me little faith in AI as I have not managed precision and any consistency with any guide yet, if AI had any of the I bit then it would have deduced that to sharpen any tool requires a skill that...

I think we associate the aches and pains with the statins because we do have more aches and pains with age but also with age we are seeing the end results of our younger years such as lifestyle, diet and general abuse that results in such conditions that statins do help. Maybe if they were to...

You cannot beat natural light and living in Cornwall I suspect you get plenty and long days so before going for the lights have you thought about roof lights to let natural light in ?
